Trying to gather up both basic controls, the various ways we list/write them for easier compare, and some more extended tricks and quirks.

This setup uses the Numeric Pad from the keyboard as a reference. So 1 = down and left, and 2 = down. It's the easiest way to explain directions and diagonals when explaining moves.

Most fighting games uses 6 or so buttons for all the different attacks, OMF instead uses 2 but in combination with different directions to create a similar amount of attacks. As such Punch button will have 7 different normal attacks, 3 standing, 3 crouching, and 1 jumping punch attack. And Kick have the same amount.

Blocking is done by moving away from the enemy, and you can block high or low. High blocks against jump attacks and standing attacks, while low blocks against standing and low attacks. High block is just holding button to walk backwards, blocking low is diagonal backward and down.

Low attacks are in most cases crouching kick attacks, but not crouching punches. Though this can depend on the robot.

Throws can be used when close and can break all blocks, to throw stand close to the enemy and use forward and punch.

The basic movement and the numbers/letters I'll use for them through this wiki:

This is a comparision between the designations I'll use and other popular ones used in other places and guides:

• Bots can save input as long as they do not use ay other input in the meantime. Example if you jump you can push buttons for a move you want to start the moment you land. Examples 2,2+P or 6,6+P for various special moves.
• Throwing can normally be performed using forward and punch (6P), but if defensive throws are enabled, back and throw (4P) also works.
• Certain animations will “forget” that you are holding a direction and will require you to release the direction before continuing to block. E.G. when you are knocked down, you must release and hold (4) after the wakeup animation begins in order to block on wakeup.
• Special moves may be written differently in this wiki than what is actually scripted in game. E.G. Jaguar Leap is written as 236P but the input 36P is all that is needed to perform the move.

Variant of the above, listing Jaguars animation strings from the AF files. I don't remember why I wrote them up, but in case I remember I'll just leave it here:
